Microsoft markets 'collection' of PCs to consider

Microsoft UK has unveiled its first 'collection' of PCs, chosen by the company to suit lifestyles and budgets.

The spring collection features 30 models from nine manufacturers and will be available from all major retailers. The PC makers are Sony, Dell, Packard Bell, HP, Lenovo, Toshiba, Acer, Alienware and Scan.

The Collection is split into five categories: Everyday; Mobile Companion; Professional; Entertainment and Gaming. TV presenters Pollyanna Woodward and Ortis Deley have been signed up to promote the project .

Microsoft's research shows 72 per cent of PC owners found it hard to choose PCs as there is too much choice, while 27 per cent of us spend just as long searching for one as we would do a new home.

Models featured in The Collection will be sold at PC retailers from PC World and Currys to John Lewis and Comet. Have a look at what is offered in the spring set on the Microsoft webpage. ®
